We can help you set these as alternate numbers if you want to
set them up.
Spam Alert!
Under
"Free Security Tools" at the bottom left, you'll find a link to the
K9 Anti-Spam filter
and instructions on installing and setting it up.
We've been using this filter for a while now, and find it to identify
spam accurately about 85% of the time when you first install it. Your
rate will vary. I don't do much in the way of email with that account.
At the moment, it's accuracy fluctuates between 92 - 94 percent. Not bad
at all.
UPDATES!: I've found that from time to time,
spammer's tactics change significantly enough that some retraining is
required to bring K9 back up to the accuracy level it once had.
If you always want to receive mail from certain
people, or which meets certain other criteria, then have a look at our
video that
shows how to use K9's whitelist feature. The video needs its sound
reworked because when the scene switches to the screen, it gets too
quiet. I think the best viewing option would be the download, even
though it's a large file because the video requires 640x480 to be
readable.

Have you tried
Web E-Mail with Calendar yet? I have only had a chance to look at
it. I haven't done much else with it. You use the same Email address and
password to access either one, and you can switch between either one
without losing any messages. The first time you access Web E-Mail with
Calendar, it will create several new mail folders you didn't see before
when using Squirrel Mail. Those folders will still exist if you happen
to log in using Squirrel Mail, but I don't currently recommend opening
those new folders in Squirrel Mail.
For those using our accelerated service, there is a
new SlipStream Web Accelerator program, version 5, available. We hope to
have version 5.1 available soon. Version 5.1 will be compatible with
Internet Explorer 7 and FireFox 2. Please note that Internet Explorer 7
and SlipStream 5.0 are not compatible and will
cause an error. The previous version may work OK with it, though.
In the left-hand column you'll find three new
tools: Test Your Modem, Internet Connection Test Script, and
WinsockXPFix. I wrote the
Internet Connection Test Script to give you a way to check whether your
connection is working as it should. It works with any kind of internet
connection, but in the case of dial-up connections, the connection must
first be established. If you cannot establish a dial-up connection, the
Test Your Modem link takes you where you can get a test tool. Finally,
the WinsockXPFix program will reset some of the key settings Windows
uses to enable World Wide Web and E-Mail usage. We are putting together
a page to help you use these tools effectively.
We have added a Games page. Take a look
here.

Refer a friend and get $5 off next month's bill when they sign up! If you
refer two friends who sign up, you'll get $10 off. If you should happen to
refer four who sign up, next month is free and you'll get the month after that
for $9.95.
Current AOL Users can now keep their AOL E-Mail
address and get $5 off their first month's Internet Access bill. So why
pay $23 when you can pay $14.95/month?
Why would I use DAConsultNet? (or, What do I tell my friends?)
I know I'm impressed with the service, but why
would my friends want to join?
